International English School Cambodia

Capitalise on the Cambodian English school market with Direct English

With a close proximity to other high growth economies such as Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, and a population of over 15 million, Cambodia is an attractive country to consider investing in.
Add to that that it constantly ranks in the top six fastest growing markets in the world, and that English is already seen as the international language of business here. Surely then, there's never been a better time to consider being appointed our Direct English Master Franchisee for Cambodia to capitalise on this potentially lucrative ELT market that exists here?
